Lettuce starts need replanting…so do thesean heirloom sweet melon, sort of a cross between a muskmelon and a cantaloupe. haven’t tried it yet, but if it is good, i am hoping to gather a lot of seeds!“fairy melons” – the are somewhat larger than my hand span. Very cute!a fist sized heirloom pepper from HungaryEvery time we come out Koda sticks his face into the spearmint. Can’t blame him, I do as well!a striped heirloom tomato from FrancePretty peppers.

I have been a reader all my life. My favorite reads are Urban Fantasy, Paranormal and Suspense, especially when they feature strong female characters and action. I still get into a lot of other genres, but everyone has a favorite child, even if they don’t want to admit it, right?
As an Indie Editor I am here to help writers reach their goals by helping them develop books that are clean, well edited and a pleasure to read. If you would like for me to look over your book, please drop me an email at Leiah@SoIReadThisBookToday.com. My schedule if flexible, and my rates are quite reasonable!
I have been a quilter for years, and absolutely love doing home renovation – not something I can do very well any more, but hey, at least I got that stupid fan up! I love animals, the environment and food. I have a big garden to supplement my organic purchases, and eat a lot of greens!
Technically, I have a Masters Degree in Forensics and a Bachelors in Math (neither of which I utilize, fancy that) as well as a Bachelors in English Literature from long ago in a land far, far away. But hey, if I can get this editing and reviewing off the ground, at least I will be using that one!

So do I. And peppers! Those are always my go-to garden plants. I also have tomatillos I thought i had taken photos of, but apparently not. they are coming on well. the only thing not really doing well is the basil – for some reason it is yellowed and the bugs are having a field day with it, but that appears to be the only thing they are attacking, so I suppose their sacrifice is worth it to salvage the rest of the garden… I am really looking forward to trying the heirloom melons!
